North West Branch – Approaches to Treatment for Common Causes of Degradation in Historic Tiles, Lesley Durbin, Tiles and Ceramics Society

Following her successful introductory talk on tiles
and ceramics, Lesley is back to give us a detailed seminar on common causes of
degradation. This talk will address the
common causes of degradation found in historic tile schemes both wall and
floor. We will also look at the most
appropriate methods of repair and conservation.
The talk will focus on late 19th century and 20th century tiles but with
the opportunity to take a brief look at 18th century and medieval tiles as
well. The talk will be power point illustrated and will give every opportunity
to question and discuss as we progress. The emphasis is on collective learning
rather than instruction. Free to attend.
